Enough For Him

” go get lunch or something,” I said staring at Emily’s assistant as I walked into the offices. She glanced behind me at a nervous Leon.

“it’s fine, go have a break” she rushed past us with her bag.

I pushed open her office door seeing the woman standing behind her desk admiring herself in her hand mirror.

” outside Leon” I warned Leon as I felt his presence behind me.

He stood there not moving. Eventually, he sighed and stepped out.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

” I don’t know what he told you but it’s a lie. The feeling was mutual” she tried to defend herself walking towards me.

I watched with a smile as his head whipped back as I landed a hard slap on her face.

Her face showed that she really couldn’t believe I had just slapped her.

” if it was mutual he wouldn’t be begging me to take him back would he Emily. Learn to take rejection and keep your hands off my man” I said stepping forward and pointing at her shocked face.

“Does this mean I’m forgiven?” Leon asked as we rode the elevator down to the ground floor.

I simply stared forward not giving him anything.

He poked my cheek ” Lizzy, hello answer me”

I tried my best not to smile.

” I need some time to think Leon, now stop poking me” I swatted his hand away from me. I breathed a sigh of relief when we arrived at the ground floor.

As the doors opened I cast Leon a look. I regretted it instantly seeing the broken look in his eyes.

” I didn’t say no, just not now Leon,” I said reaching up to touch his jaw. The rough stubble was a clear indication of his tired state.

” take care of yourself Leon” I whispered as I stepped out into the busy lobby.

“just the two we were looking for” I stopped in my tracks lifting my head at the familiar voice.

I probably looked stunned I mean how else am I supposed to react when my father and Leons father are stood in front of me.

I didn’t remember the last time these two men were in the same room. Let alone on speaking terms.

Looks like I won’t be going anywhere just yet.

presence of.

Leon’s dad, simon was the founder of this company but since retiring he hasn’t been in the uk in more than 2 years. Leon’s dad hasn’t met Jayson yet either.

” follow me” Simon said sharply turning around. My father walked with him not even sparing a glance.

As for my dad, since he divorced my mom he has been working in oman at this big engineering company. He also hasn’t met Jayson.

“Did you” Leon shook his head grabbing my hand and following them.

When we arrived outside the entrance one big car pulled up. We all got inside and sat down waiting patiently.

The silence was actually deadly. The last time I was in the presence of Leon’s father he basically accused me of using his son and kicked me out of his home so you could say that I felt somewhat uncomfortable.

” Hi dad” I broke the silence turning to my father who haven’t seen in a long time. He was aging well at 60.

I’m surprised that these two are actually fine with being in the presence of eachother.

” Hi princess ” he smiled at me. well at least I know he wasn’t mad at me which is a good sign. I wanted to be sure that I wasn’t setting myself up.

He cocked his head to his left. Leons father was staring directly at me with his eyebrow raised. For years that look has intimidated me.

Past

Baby cmon, its either don’t tell them or they find out and hate you either more” Leon said practically dragging me from the bed.

Is that supposed to make me feel better, not quite sure if that’s the right way to go about it.

” fine, but you’re speaking” I grunted finally getting out of bed and heading towards the bathroom. My belly was not at a point where it was noticeable.

Leons father had just arrived in the uk and Leon thought it was a good idea for us to announce my pregnancy to him.

The moment we stepped into Leons home one of his cousins came running upto me. He was the nicest little kid in the family. 19 years old hes quite mature for his age.

” Lizzzzzy… woah baby” he stopped when he got close enough to see me. I didn’t really try and hide it that much.

Leon rubbed my back ” yeah, keep it quite alright” Leon said to his cousin patting his back. We walked past him. I quickly latched my hand onto his arm and brought him.

If I’m going to face Leons angry father I need some moral support.

We stepped into the main part of the house. Leon’s mother Lorraine was busy preparing food in the kitchen. Lorraine was a nice woman, we didn’t get along that much but she was decent enough to not say bad things to my face.

Behind my back she doesn’t care but at least not in my face.

One look at my belly as she turned around ” I’m going to need something stronger” Leon rolled his eyes and greeted his mother.

” I changed my mind, we’re not doing this ” I said turning around to exit this horrible house. how people can stand for this is beyond me. what did I ever do to deserve this.

” not doing what” I froze when I heard his voice.

Leon gently took my arm bringing me back to his side. Leon’s dad stood in his suit, obviously he had just gotten back leaving him no time change.

” hi dad, we have something to tell you” Leon spoke staring at his dad. When the words left his mouth he angled his head to look at me. fuck sake, why does he have to look so scary.

” do tell Elizabeth” he said a scary smile on his lips. I grabbed onto lepns hand. He knows full well that my name is not Elizabeth.

Jesus take the wheel.
